Also, I think I need to start tracking what I eat/drink. I don’t know what is going on, but I have gained 3 pounds in the past week or so. I have a feeling it is the addition of sweet drinks into my diet and not passing over the banana pudding and chocolate cake during office meetings, as I was doing before. Those extra calories really do add up after a week.

I am suspicious that that could equal a 3 lb weight gain for me though, there is just no way! Especially with all the running I do. I think I have some pre-menstrual bloating and water weight going on right now to be honest, but it definitely opens my eyes to the little things I have been doing lately…like taking a couple bites of swiss roll when I get home from work. I have also noticed that I have a bigger appetite now too. I used to be VERY full off of a half sandwich and not feel hungry again until dinner. Now I am still hungry after I eat and I am hungry before dinner as well. I hate this! It makes weight loss way harder! Last night I had a larger than normal plate of unhealthy BBQ from Bono's…it is so hard to pass up free food!

Goals:

-Eliminate sweet drinks like Starbucks frap bottles and replace with coffee with sweet n low and good cream. It will still taste good, but without as much sugar or milk. Replace that sweet tea I’ve been drinking every day at lunch with water or a water with a propel packet. In general, I need to drink more water.

-Eat less! Get back to feeling full on that half bagel and half sandwich!

-Eat healthier! You were doing so good before, than those bad foods started slipping in there. No French fries with your sandwich at lunch…no more potatoes at work for bfast…too many carbs Alacia! Do you want that 6 pack? Grapefruit for b-fast or fiber cereal. Lunch- sushi or healthy sandwich (wheat bread) and dinner have chicken or fish.

-No more heavy beer and reduce the amt of lite beer! I want the other 6 pack! To get Crunk, drink straight liquor without the carbs

-Incorporate Whey protein back into my diet. Have it as a mid-afternoon type snack.

-Start taking a multi-vitamin every day. To remind myself I will keep it at my desk in my office.

-Abs everyday!

When I finally decide on a gym, I am going to have my body fat percent taken and my measurements so I can keep track of my progress. I plan on keeping a log book for my weight training days as well.
